Operations Manager

https://www.2brothersmoving.net

Our founder started on the trucks. Leadership here is earned through understanding the work. At 2 Brothers Moving & Delivery, we remove the fear from moving for Portland families and beyond. We're scaling, profitable, and looking for a leader who can run a branch, not just manage one.

This is a general management position. You own field execution, people development, revenue performance, and customer experience for a team of 25+ and growing. You work alongside crews in the field. You coach people up or move them out. You look at the numbers every week and know whether you're winning or losing.

The right person is a proven integrator. You take business systems and processes and make them more consistent, trainable, and reproducible. You build leaders from entry-level talent. You bring outside knowledge into the organization because standing still isn't in your nature. Moving industry experience is a plus but not required. We train the right candidate.
